We were walking on the Nauset Marsh Trail around the Salt Pond when I saw this Osprey way up in the sky circling the pond. All of a sudden, he started hovering as if he was going to dive down for a fish, but he never did.

I liked this photograph of him hovering in mid-air. What do you think?

I have heard the distinct call of the Great Crested Flycatcher for many weeks now… always in the woods and always a little too far away  until the other day…

I was taking a walk one afternoon in my neighborhood and heard his call. Hmm. He didn’t seem too far away, so I waited until I could hear his call closer. And there, on the tree in the woods was the Great Crested Flycatcher. I clicked and clicked away and only got 1 good photograph. Here it is!

Beautiful bird, don’t you think? I hear him all the time in the woods around our home, but rarely does he land on a tree near me.
